First recorded sources on the usage of Aloe vera were discovered by historians in Egypt and it was cultivated by King Solomon. Alexander the Great also used it to treat his soldiers. Origins of use Individual types of Aloe vera were used by Indian and Persian tribes as medicine. Traditional medicine of Japan, Russia, China, Rome and Greece used this plant to cure various illnesses. There are over 200 types of Aloe vera in the world, but only four have medicinal characteristics. These are: Aloe ferro, Aloe saponaria, Aloe arborensis and Aloe perrvi. Aloe vera yields excellent results in reducing pain and it speeds up damaged tissue recovery. The plant is also famous under the name Goddess or Kumari because women around the world use it to preserve their good looks. Aloe vera has played a significant part during many wars in healing wounds and burns of injured soldiers. Where does Aloe vera come from? Aloe vera is a cactus-like semi-tropical plant and it belongs to the lilium class, native to Africa. It is green and thick-leaved. Its leaves are rich in water, which is why it can survive long-term droughts. In the 19th century, the plant spread from Africa to other parts of the world and its cultivation began. It is most spread and available in India, Mexico, the Caribbean and Venezuela. In the 1970`s, aloe vera gel obtained popularity and US cosmetic companies began using it in skin care products. Today, Aloe vera is used as an ingredient of many cosmetic products, creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, it the form of juices, capsules… What was discovered by research ? Extensive research conducted about Aloe vera has proved its efficiency and importance in treating various illnesses. In 1996, a research was carried out at the University of Bangkok, proving that Aloe vera can considerably help lower high blood sugar levels. It was proven to help with liver damage, stomach problems and intestinal infections. Curative properties help in the struggle against cancer. The plant proved to be efficient in treating wounds and burns and it also helps with eczema and psoriasis. What is more, Aloe vera strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation, destroys viruses, bacteria, fungus, parasites, grubs… it helps with quitting smoking, drinking alcohol and opiates, it stimulates metabolism, improves functions of liver, gall, kidneys, heart, digestion organs and the nervous system. / ___________ / /

This is from the garden. The Strelitzia Reginae. In the background: Azaleas, Clivias, Dietes Grandiflora, Violets, etc. This is a difficult subject to photograph! Did you know that this is one of the most sought after flowers in the world? I bet you did not know that it is a South African flower? Some interesting facts: / Strelitzia / Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa. The genus is named after the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, birthplace of Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom. The common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower, because of a supposed resemblance of its flowers to the bird of paradise. In South Africa it is commonly known as a crane flower. Strelitzia Reginae / / Strelitzia reginae is a monocotyledonous flowering plant indigenous to South Africa. Common names include Strelitzia, Crane Flower or Bird of Paradise, though these names are also collectively applied to other species in the genus Strelitzia. Its scientific name commemorates Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, queen consort of King George III. The plant grows to 2 m (6½ ft) tall, with large, strong leaves 25-70 cm (10-28 in) long and 10-30 cm (4-12 in) broad, produced on petioles up to 1 m (about 40 in) long. The leaves are evergreen and arranged in two ranks, making a fan-shaped crown. The flowers stand above the foliage at the tips of long stalks. The hard, beak-like sheath from which the flower emerges is termed the spathe. This is placed perpendicular to the stem, which gives it the appearance of a bird’s head and beak; it makes a durable perch for holding the sunbirds which pollinate the flowers. The flowers, which emerge one at a time from the spathe, consist of three brilliant orange sepals and three purplish-blue petals. Two of the blue petals are joined together to form an arrow-like nectary. When the sunbirds sit to drink the nectar, the petals open to cover their feet in pollen. Mandela’s Gold / A beautiful yellow form of Strelitzia reginae was selected recently. This special selection, known as Strelitzia reginae “Mandela’s Gold”, has been multiplied at Kirstenbosch where large plantings can be seen flowering in the winter and spring. To increase the amount of seed most strelitzia flowers are hand pollinated at Kirstenbosch. This is done by gently scraping the pollen off with a finger or a stick, and placing it on the tip of the stigma of another plant. It takes a few months for the seed to ripen during which the green pods are often eaten by squirrels. To prevent this, the old flower heads are covered with brown paperbags after the flowers have been pollinated and the seeds start to develop.

PHOTO: This is a photo of a succulent I bought a year ago. Its actual size is app. 2,5 cm x 1 cm. It looks like the soles of dwarf shoes! It is also a great conversation piece! / / Indigenous South African Plant. Lithops optica (Marloth) N.E. Br. / Family: Mesembryanthemaceae (Vygie Family) / Common Names: Lüderitz Living Stone, Lüderitz Stone Plant, Lüderitz Beeskloutjie Lithops are probably the most well known and popular member of the large succulent plant family, the Mesembryanthemaceae. They are commonly called living stones or stone plants because they so closely resemble the surrounding pebbles of their natural habitat, either in coloration or shape or both. This camouflage allows them to escape detection and is a very effective strategy for escaping predation. Their resemblance to stones has also given the genus its scientific name: from the Greek lithos meaning stone and opsis meaning appearance or resemblance. They are known in Afrikaans as beeskloutjies (bees means ox/cattle and kloutjie feet), because the plants also look like miniature hoofprints of cattle. A lithops plant consists of a two-lobed obconical (upside down cone-shaped) body that is in fact a fused and thickened pair of opposite leaves. The stem is very short and not visible. In their native habitat the leaf pair grows sunken in the gravely soil with only the upper portion visible. This part is called the window, and it allows light into the inner portion of the leaf where it is diffused before reaching the green chlorophyll, which is scattered along the inner leaf margins, where the process of photosynthesis is carried out. The leaf pair is replaced by a new one every year and the leaf sap is recycled from the older to the younger leaf pair, thus maximising on moisture and nutrient conservation. Lithops plants will produce more than one leaf pair so that a single body gradually becomes a smallish cluster. Each leaf pair will produce one solitary bright daisy-like flower during autumn. This flower is usually white or yellow in colour, about 25 mm in diameter, and appears in the fissure of the leaf pair. They open late in the day and close up again at dusk and could be pollinated by any number of bees, flies, wasps, gnats, bugs etc that are common in the area. Lithops are self-sterile, so the effective pollinator is more likely to be a flying insect that will visit more than one group within a population. The seed is held inside a 4-8 chambered fruiting capsule. This capsule only opens when moistened, exposing the tiny seeds. In nature, falling rain drops splash out the seeds to a distance of a few centimetres to up to a metre or more from the parent plant. After the capsule dries up it closes again, protecting any seeds left behind. All the different species look quite similar to each other, differing mainly in the shape, markings, colour and texture of the body. The genus Lithops consists of about 33 species widely distributed in the western, southern and central regions of southern Africa, i.e. Namibia, Botswana and all provinces of South Africa except for Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal. They occur mainly in the Nama Karoo and succulent Karoo and are especially common along the Orange River valley in the Northern Cape. The first Lithops was discovered by William John Burchell in 1811 to the south east of the present-day Northern Cape town of Prieska during his nearly five year journey of exploration in southern Africa. Rainfall in lithops habitats ranges between 25 and 400 mm per annum and falls mainly during spring and autumn with less frequent showers during the rest of the year. Temperatures vary, the average daily maximum ranges between 18 and 28 degrees centigrade and the daily minimum between 8 and 12 degrees centigrade. Our species, Lithops optica, was first collected by Dr Rudolph Marloth in 1909 near Lüderitz in Namibia. It is endemic (i.e. it occurs naturally nowhere else on Earth) to the Lüderitz district of the southern Namib Desert where it grows on the coastal plains. Its habitat is very sandy and it is often found growing among rocks and gravel where it is very difficult to spot. Its climate is cool due to the cold Atlantic Ocean and frequent fog, and rainfall is mainly during the winter, ranging between 20-50 mm per annum.

This is a flower indigenous to South Africa. Please read these interesting facts: (especially where I highlighted) / / / / A rhizomatous, evergreen herb, up to 600 mm high, with sword-shaped, dark green leaves in a loose fan. This prolific flowerer carries its flowers on a wiry, arching stem. The flowers are dainty and each bloom lasts a single morning. New flowers open continually during the flowering spell. Its flowers are subtended by white sheathing bracts; the inner petals are often marked with brown streaks near the base; the style branches are lightly flushed with violet, 30–40 mm wide. The flowers are closed by midday except on overcast days. Flowers are produced from spring through to summer., Fruit is a capsule, oval shaped and it disintegrates to release black seeds. This plant is widely distributed, from the Eastern Cape through to KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in evergreen forests or clearings in bush. (And of course in Mpumalanga where I stay). Dietes is derived from the Greek dis, meaning twice, and etes, meaning an associate, thus two relatives, drawing attention to the position of this genus between Moraea and Iris. About five species make up this genus of indigenous, rhizomatous plants. The Dietes Grandiflora (Source: PlantzAfrica.com ) / / Common Names: Large Wild Iris, Fairy Iris (E), Groot Wilde-Iris (Afr), Isiqungasehlati (Z) / _Family _: Iridaceae (Iris Family) / This well known indigenous large wild iris is commonly grown in gardens and used in large landscapes throughout the country. It is a perennial, evergreen plant which grows up to 1.5m in large clumps. Dietes grandiflora plants grow from underground rhizomes. The long, rigid, sword-shaped leaves are held in a fan shape. The leaves are dark green and may reach up to 1m long and 15-20mm wide. The attractive flowers are large (about 100mm across) and are white with yellow nectar guides and outer petals and violet central segments. The flowers are held on erect, slender stems which are about 1m in length. The flowers are borne in mass at certain periods – often after rain in summer. The individual flowers do not last more than a couple of days (so are of no use in a vase) however, the plant bears so many flowers during the peak period that the plant looks most striking. The flowers attract lots of bees and other pollinators. This plant is occasionally called the “Fairy Iris” because the fragile white petals not only look like fairy wings, but also have a tendency to disappear mysteriously overnight! The large wild iris fruit is a large capsule up to 45mm which is held erect and splits open to release shiny, dark brown seeds. / Growing Dietes grandiflora This is a popular, easy-to-grow garden plant which will grow under most conditions. The plants are both frost and drought hardy and will grow in either sun or shade. However, for best results and most flowers, plant Dietes grandiflora in full sun or light shade in well composted, well drained soil and water well in summer. It has become a popular landscaping plant due to its reliability and hardiness and is often found in parking areas at shopping centres, schools etc. It can be effectively used in mass plantings, but is also effective in mixed plantings or used as an accent plant alongside a pond or some steps. The large wild iris is easy to propagate from seed sown in spring or by dividing large clumps which spread by means of rhizomes. They multiply rapidly and are soon ready to be split again. There are six species of Dietes – five of which occur in South Africa – and one on an island in the Tasman Sea (between New Zealand and Australia). Dietes were once called Moraea (a closely related group), but were separated because Dietes have a rhizome, whereas Moraea have a true corm. References Batten, A. 1986. Flowers of Southern Africa.

From the garden. These were not picked, I photographed them just as they were growing in the garden. The arrangement of these closely bonded flowers, growing like this, was wonderful to see! Copyright: Mariaan Krog 2008. / / Common wood sorrel is a plant from the genus Oxalis, common in most of Europe and parts of Asia. It flowers for a few months during the spring, with small white flowers with pink streaks. Red or violet flowers also occur rarely. (Ours has a purplish pink colour!) The binomial name is Oxalis acetosella, because of its sour taste. The leaflets are made up by three heart-shaped leaves, folded through the middle. The stalk is red/brown, and during the night or when it rains both flowers and leaves contract. Historically, people have extracted calcium oxalate, or “sal acetosella” from the plant, through boiling. It is slightly toxic, as oxalic acid is known to interfere with food digestion. Another common wood sorrel is Oxalis montana, a North American species found from New England and Nova Scotia to Wisconsin and Manitoba. It is similar to the species described above, but the petals are noticeably notched. The common wood sorrel is sometimes referred to as a shamrock (due to its three-leaf clover-like motif) and given as a gift on St. Patrick’s Day. / Source Naming of this plant, throughout the world: / Denmark/Dänemark / Skovsyre / Almindelig surkløver / Surkløver Germany/Deutschland / Buchampfer / Buchklee / Gauchampfer / Hainklee / Hain-Sauerklee / Hasenbrod (alemanisch, thüringisch) / Hasenklee / Hasenkohl / Hasenmoos (Westfalen) / Himmelsbrot / Holzklee / Kuckucksbrot / Kuckuckskäse / Kuckucksklee / Kuckuckskohl / Kuckuckssalat (Mecklenburg) / Kukuksklouwp (Plattdeutsch) / Sauerklee / Waldklee / Wald-Sauerklee / Waldwürze England / cuckoo-bread / Cuckowes Meat / Fairy Bells / Hallelujah / Irish shamrock / Seamrag (veraltet) / Shamrock / Sour Trefoil / Sour Trefoil / Stickwort / Stubwort / Surelle / Three-leaved Grass / Wood sorrel Estland / harilik jänesekapsas Finland / Ketunleipä / Käenkaali France / Alléluia / Herbes aux coucous / Oseille de bucheron ou de Paques / Oxalis des bois / Oxalis petite oseille / Pain de Coucou / Petite oseille / Surelle petit oxalide / Surelle / Vinaigrette Holland/Netherland / Witte klaverzuring Ireland / Seamsog Iceland / Sursmæra Italian / Acetosella dei boschi / Iuliole Latin Names / Oxalis acetosella L. / Oxalis acetosella Scop.
